Karachiite's language (4)

I believe the answer is:

urdu

(Other definitions for urdu that I've seen before include "Official language used in Pakistan" , "Sub-continental language" , "Indian language" , "Language closely related to Hindi" , "One of official languages of Pakistan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
